Ready

Ready for School - Ready for Life

Ready is a comprehensive guide for caregivers to help children in their care get ready for school and life. It is available for free and is distributed through partner organizations. The guide includes activities, resources, and information to help caregivers and children understand topics a fun, engaging, and accessible way. 

Become a Partner

Like you, we understand that ALL caregivers want children in their care to be healthy, happy, and successful in a way they define. If your organization works with caregivers of young children please contact us to become a distribution partner for Ready.

ART BOOK CArt

Crooked Zipper has created a mobile tool, Art Book Cart (ABC), to engage communities with literature through art. ABC was created as a hands-on alternative to traditional book clubs. We believe literacy can and should be fun and engaging. 


Groups who hire the services of ABC choose a book or book series, and we organize an event which includes hands-on arts and literacy projects, discussion questions, and extension activities based on the book or series. 


Groups can also host book art events events where ABC leads hands-on activities utilizing damaged books to make new paper, prints, envelopes, and folded book art. 


Excellent for youth and adult book clubs, school/organization literacy nights, library events, art making events, and festivals.
